CreateProcessA in kernel32 (by Ferenc Gogola, 07/24/2007 02:17:44 AM) |  |
Hi Normunds, thanks for your work. First I have a roundabout way with MS WordBasic from LotusScript it was not very elegant but worked. Second I have found in LotusScript's function Shellid() from R6 it's working too but I need the solution in R5 also.
Here is the R6 RunApp
app is the full path and cmd arguments i.e. "c:\windows\notepad.exe test.txt"
Private Function RunApp(app As String) As Variant
RunApp = False
On Error Goto catch
Dim taskid As Variant
Const SYNCHRONIZE = &H100000
Const INFINITE = &HFFFF
Const WAIT_OBJECT_0 = 0
Const WAIT_TIMEOUT = &H102
Dim lPid As Long
Dim lHnd As Long
Dim lRet As Long
Dim txtApp As String
lPid = Shellid(app, 1)
If lPid <> 0 Then
lHnd = OpenProcess(SYNCHRONIZE, 0, lPid)
If lHnd <> 0 Then
lRet = WaitForSingleObject(lHnd, INFINITE)
CloseHandle (lHnd)
End If
End If
RunApp = True
exitFunction:
Exit Function
catch:
Error Err, Lsi_info(2) & ":" & Erl & ">" & Err & " " & Error$
Resume exitFunction
End Function
Best regards: Ferenc
